Known Issue: Black Screen With Visible UI: Some Intel users may find that when DirectX 10 is enabled, only their UI is visible and the rest of their screen is black. If this occurs, we recommend you disable DX10, enable DX9, and restart the game client.

It is a trap in the same sense that the pre-made paths for classes are traps. It is given the appearance that it is useful, but in fact it is worthless. It would be like taking a pit and covering it with leaves to give someone the impression it is safe to stand on.

Man, the turbine hate is reeeeeeeeeeeeeally a pain in the ass. Makes it almost impossible to get anything done. I just put up a simple question about a know bug, instead of getting some helpful feedback. The result? screwed both ways.....

Way one: Every guy out there with a hard-on for bagging turbin/wb/ etc...... jumps at the chance to bang on and on about Turbine blah blah

Way two: The Devs/turbine wont confirm or deny squat about any bug for fear of throwing more chum in the water and heaven forbid acknowledging a flaw

It wasn't Turbine hate, it was an attempt to explain why it is a trap. The pre-made paths, regardless of how you wish to view Turbine, are very suboptimal builds. Old players know to avoid them. New players do not. Turbine should know by now, especially after community feedback was asked and received, that these builds are worthless. Leaving them in-game is similar to leaving a trap for new players.

The situation is very similar with Combat Archery. Turbine has known for a while now that this feat was bugged but have neglected to fix it. In that sense it is a trap left by Turbine.

I agree that the premade paths are sub optimal compared to the builds that experienced players would make. I'm highly skeptical that they are inferior to the builds that new players would make on their own. Remember, the majority of players don't ever visit the forums, and from what i have seen, most of the build advice on the wiki is at least as bad as any path.
